Letters to the Employer

I am writing today to bring to your attention an important issue that affects hundreds of your constituents employed by the federal government across several departments and agencies in the riding of Gaspésie—Les îles de la Madeleine.

In the wake of the Phoenix pay crisis, it is no comfort to public service employees to hear from their Clerk that firing them is too difficult. At times like these, my members would prefer to see leadership and vision on how to move forward and ensure employees are paid correctly and on time.

I am writing you on behalf of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (“Institute”) to seek formal renewal of the interim measures that were put in place by the Government pending the repeal of Division 17 of Bill C-4 (Economic Action Plan 2013 Act, No. 2) (“Bill C-4”).

I recently wrote to Treasury Board President Scott Brison to express my frustration at being informed that the government is very likely not going to be able to process overpayment claims reported by the January 19, 2018 deadline.

I share many of our members’ concerns at the planned transition of over 60 remaining federal organizations to the Phoenix system later this April. I have therefore written to Judy Foote, Minister of Public Services and Procurement urging her to postpone this transition until these issues have been resolved.
